yes, some of these options mean the same thing. However, they have different perspective.
Gotta pick your top 2 - and then please explain the subtleties in your own words.
A recent discussion with a person I usually disagree with prompted me to ask the question: how do you feel about dipped coins? Please explain your...
These new/old pictures lead me to believe there is no wear, as I suspected. I now lean more towards a 63 grade.
It is absolutely impossible to grade this coin from those pictures. There is usually significant weakness from striking deficiencies on 1921 peace...
As always, baseball, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
Nope. Title mentions an 1879, pictures show an 1879O. Not exactly the same thing.
While these are more modern examples, this is more like what natural blue toning should appear like. When the entire surface of the coin has the...
Yes. But not usually in that shade of blue, and not usually in that combination of blue and magenta. You misunderstand me. You won't see any...
Yes, it appears to be a dollar dated 1879 O. Do you have a question about it? Want an opinion on it? Want to show it off? Have a story to tell...
I would agree with this statement. I think part of the reason is because even very minor differences in a coin can have very large impacts on...
What sort of error would it be? No, it looks like someone heated the coin to see what it would do. The un-colored spots at the top are where it...
Yes, they always have a color attribute. When they say "BN" on this one, what they mean is "not-RD." It won't bean. It also wouldn't make it...
Well, it has clearly been dipped once. The reverse color and pattern is a strong indicator of an improperly rinsed dip. I don't see anything...
Many places, and especially vending machines, won't even accept that at face value.
Yup, definitely cleaned. The bluish hue on this coin is a sure sign that it's been messed with.
These coins would more accurately be described in numismatic lingo as "pink." We use this term for coins which have been cleaned or scrubbed and...
My first thought was this coin was stored in an old paper envelope like you describe. If the envelope got wet, it could produce toning like seen...
I agree, this is a carbon spot. It is considered unattractive, and will lower the grade. Unfortunately, this spot is right smack dab in the prime...
I used to collect shillings. They're a different denomination, obviously, but I see nothing about the texture and fabric of this coin that feels...
Separate names with a comma.
